[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 1260653, member: 6145"] #1. A Remington 1100 skeet gun with a 26" barrel with have a 'SKEET" choke - hence the "skeet" model. The skeet choke was designed to shoot 'skeet' and have a optimal pattern at about 22 yards. After 22 yards, the 450- 560 (or so) individual lead pellets will spread apart and you will have a lot of space between them. #2 a 'skeet' choke is very seldom if ever used for hunting anything. the reason being is the you are greatly handicapping yourself and limiting your killing distance to approx 0-22 yards when it could be from 0-60 yards depending on the choke you use. #3 The tigher the choke, the closer the individual 460 (approx #) lead pellets will be at a given distance --so the tighter the choke is, the greater your killing range is. Chokes range from cylinder, skeet, improved cylinder, light modified, modified, improved modified, light full, full, improved full, extra full ( there are more but you get the idea) in order of "open" to "tigher" chokes. #4 a fixed choke gun with a "skeet" choke will work fine for skeet. It will not work WELL for hunting. Also that gun probably weighs about 8.5 to 9.5 pounds. Great for skeet because you shoot 100 shells per gauge in a competition and you need a heavy gun to absorb the recoil BUT it WILL NOT work good for hunting - TOOO heavy, wears your arms out and make it hard to mount and swing the gun as the day wears on. # 5 - best scenairo is to buy one gun with screw in chokes. buy skeet, improved cylinder, modified, and full chokes (it make come with most of these) and you are set for skeet, dove, pheasant, duck, and about most anything you want to hunt with one gun but changing out chokes depending on the hunt. #6. When I go hunting, dove or pheasant, i have one choke in the gun and sometimes i will carry a different screw in choke in case the birds are coming in very close or very far out I can adjust for it. #7. screw in chokes are about 2.5 inches and made of steel. #8. guns come in field models, skeet models, trap models. #9 when you shoot TRAP - you do not use a IC choke. GENERALLY you use modified to full. #10 you can go online and get a good idea of the "trap" and "skeet" games. The "clays" or "clay birds" are the orange things that are thrown in these games. There is also a third game called "Sporting Clays" sometime referred to as "Clays". So "clays" can be a game or the orange disc that is thrown. I would definitely recommend finding a 1100 or 1187 or browning or winchester field gun with screw in chokes. it will work fine for skeet, trap, and hunting. buy the way, a pump gun is grat for hunting but will not work well for skeet as you have to shot doubles and they move pretty fast.
